Describe the feature
Give plugins the ability to control swipe actions.
I’ll do so my describing my user experience with Notebook Navigator, a plugin that introduces a two window pane navigation instead of one.
To follow along, use mobile (I’m on iOS), have dual pane enabled, and start on notes list pane.
Swiping R to L, opens the active note. and swiping L to R returns you to the notes pane.
Swiping L to R opens the folder pane. swiping R to L now jumps over the notes pane and takes you to the active note.
The request is to change this behaviour. R to L swipe should return us to the active folder.
If the user wishes to change folder they will select it.
Why would this be useful?
In mobile design, the user typically expects that a swipe will return them to where they were, but this doesn’t happen on the folder pane. We jump to the active note instead.
Additionally, we there are two contradictory behaviours. On the notes pane, swiping will take us to the active note.
But swiping on the folder pane, we are not taken to the active folder (parallel expected behaviour) we are instead jumped to the active note too.
Feature requests for a plugin should be filed at the Issues page of the plugin’s GitHub. (The GitHub is linked near the top of the plugin’s description.) Good luck!
Thanks for the quick reply, but this is actually a feature request for Obsidian. The relevant API to do this function with the plugin is not exposed by Obsidian.
OK, I’ve changed the title to make that clearer (was “Improve how swiping between panes / panels functions on mobile”) and moved it to the developer section.
